Beacon Food Forest produce rescue by bike volunteer registration form | Fridays at 11:30am to 12:30pm
The Beacon Food Forest at the southwest corner of Jefferson Park in the Beacon Hill neighborhood needs our help harvesting and transporting produce by bike for the Rainier Valley Food Bank!

Every Friday at Noon the Beacon Food Forest is hosting a garden work party and produce rescue for the Rainier Valley Food Bank just for Pedaling Relief Project volunteers.

We are looking for 8 volunteers who are interested in volunteering at least 2 Fridays a month. The meet up point and time for this volunteer opportunity is at S Dakota St, Seattle, WA 98108 from Noon until 1pm. You will need to be able to carry at least 30 pounds of produce on your bike using a rack, basket, panniers, or a backpack. This time commitment for this garden work party and produce rescue by bike is just over 1 hour.

At the garden work party we will be picking and harvesting a wide variety of kale, lettuce, beats, potatoes, squash, chard, and a whole lot more from the garden beds that the Food Forest has set aside specifically to support the Rainier Valley Food Bank along with other food security organizations. This garden work party will be hosted by one of the Beacon Food Forest’s master gardeners, so if you have any questions about edible plants or gardening at home they will be happy to answer any of your questions!

After the garden work party we’ll load up our bikes with our hand picked fresh produce and bike 2 miles east to the Rainier Valley Food Bank where one of the food bank’s staff members will be there to collect and weigh your produce donation and answer any questions that you might have about the food bank and the community that you have just helped support with your produce donation.

Helping out in the Beacon Food Forest’s giving gardens and rescuing produce for the Rainier Valley Food Bank is a fun way to use your bike to get involved in the community!
